ROCHESTER - The Rochester Public Library is expanding its services with the all-new "Library of Things," a collection that allows patrons to borrow more than just books, magazines, and movies.
According to Library Director Marie Lejuene, the new collection is a "great way to try things out without having to buy them yourself."
"Most of us have bought things for a specific use, or because we are convinced we'll use them a lot, only to end up with them sitting in the basement collecting dust," said Lejeune. "The Library of Things saves you money and storage space!"
Currently, a dozen objects are available for borrowing, including:
- Cornhole set
- Ukulele starter kit
- Karaoke machine
- Metal detector
- Home theater projector
- Telescope
The list of "Things" offered will expand, based on community interest and feedback. Items from this collection will circulate for 1 week and be eligible for 1 renewal as long as there are no holds.
